Asbestos sample by post
Asbestos sample Lohja
In a city of old lakeside villas and detached houses from the 1950s to the 1970s, many materials hide asbestos. In Lohja, detach a piece of the suspect structure yourself, seal it in a bag and post it to us - nobody needs to be called out to the site.

Special features of the Lohja building stock
The history of the lime and cement industry in Lohja shows in the local building stock: stone-based structures and renders are common. Asbestos is typically found in wall fillers, tile adhesives, pipe insulation and facade panels. In a property completed before 1994 these are justified sampling points.
Sampling a hard material
Render, filler and tile adhesive are hard and brittle. Detach a piece carefully with a chisel from the edge so that you capture the full layer thickness. If the material crumbles, collect the crumbs into the same bag - the important thing is that the sample comes from one and the same spot.
